Today, while in Nairobi South C, a resident approached me with a complaint about a neighbour who had allegedly diverted raw sewage into the stormwater drainage system. The resident explained that the situation becomes even worse when it rains, as the sewage overflows onto the roads. At the time...

Today, I voted to end the Tory #SewageScandal 1,276 years’ worth of raw sewage was dumped into British waters, since 2016. Sewage in our rivers is putting the environment, public health and businesses at risk. The River Dee is one of Chester’s greatest assets, we must protect it.

Today, 2 June 2026, KCCA Directorate of Public Health and Environment (DPHE) sealed off three commercial buildings along Ntinda–Kisaasi Road following residents’ complaints and findings that wastewater and sewage were being discharged into a stormwater channel. All businesses in the affected buildings have been closed and will only reopen after the landlords rectify their sewerage and drainage systems to meet required standards. Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) DPHE urges all residents, landlords, businesses, and tenants to ensure proper waste management and to refrain from discharging wastewater and sewage into stormwater drains, as this threatens public health and the environment.

THIS IMPUNITY MUST BE STOPPED !! Today, I was in the Central Business District (CBD) to assess the status of our drainage systems following numerous complaints from city residents, particularly after the heavy rains experienced yesterday. I wish to assure Nairobi residents that our engineers are actively on the ground working to unblock clogged drainage systems. Investigations have established that the persistent flooding in the CBD is largely caused by irresponsible dumping of garbage into drainage channels by some shop owners and hawkers. This behavior is unacceptable. The county government will address this problem through strict enforcement actions. Compliance officers have been deployed to monitor the area and ensure adherence to environmental and public health regulations. Let this serve as a warning: anyone found dumping waste into drainage systems will face immediate legal action without exception. We must all take responsibility to keep our city clean, safe, and functional.

The Ministry continues its enforcement exercise today with the removal of contravening structures built on the tertiary drainage channel at Mende, Maryland. These illegal constructions obstruct the free flow of stormwater, worsen flooding, and endanger lives and property. We urge residents to desist from building on drainage alignments and to always support government’s efforts to safeguard our environment. Protecting our drainage infrastructure is key to achieving a flood-free and resilient Lagos. #CleanerLagos #GreaterLagos

During our monitoring patrol to Ikorodu today, three individuals were arrested for tampering with drainage infrastructure. Let me reiterate that interference with drainage channels is a serious environmental offence. Such actions obstruct the free flow of storm water and increase the risk of flooding within our communities. The suspects will be charged accordingly. We will continue to enforce environmental laws across the State to protect our drainage systems and safeguard lives and property. #ZeroToleranceLagos

A new public fountain has appeared in central London, but look closer & you’ll see that it’s a actually a fountain of filth. The water is black, the human victims of the sewage crisis are vomitting streams of liquid, whilst surmounted by a smug water executive with a briefcase stuffed with cash. The fountain commemorates one of the biggest environmental crimes in British history, where water companies stole tens of billions of pounds that was supposed to be spent on our sewage system, gave it to shareholders and executives and illegally poured billions of lites of sewage into our rivers, lakes and seas instead. The channel 4 docudrama about the sewage crisis, #dirtybusiness, starts at 9pm tonight. Watch it, get sad, get angry and then join the thousands of people around the country demanding an end to the sewage crisis.

This is unacceptable. A landlord in kawangware has deliberately exposed the community to raw sewage directly from the toilets, creating a hazardous environmental and health risk. Despite multiple attempts to reach her by our environment officers she always responds with hostility and arrogantly claiming that nothing can be done to her. In response, today we arrested the caretaker, who is set to be arraigned in court. As a county government, we will not stand by and watch such blatant disregard for public health and environmental safety.

Thousands of dead fish, many weighing as much as 20-30 pounds, are found dead in the Chattahoochee River in Georgia It’s one of the worst and unprecedented fish kills he’s seen in 20+ years The cause is sewage overflows into Peachtree Creek and the river because of Atlanta’s aging infrastructure “Chattahoochee Riverkeeper and City of Atlanta officials believe drought and heat played a role in the die-off. The environmental group suspects stormwater and sewage discharge also contributed to the die-off” We all know the real reason is Democrats completely ignoring infrastructure and it’s obvious by data Atlanta has a long history of significant infrastructure neglect, particularly in its water, sewer, and stormwater systems. This has even led to repeated crises and lawsuits They have aging pipes, many date to the 1890s–early 1900s. The city replaces mains at a slow pace across 2,900 miles of pipes. They have frequent failures, hundreds of water main breaks and leak every year Severe underinvestment in maintenance caused thousands of raw sewage overflows annually And the most damning Atlanta’s outdated system mixes sewage and stormwater. Heavy rains trigger discharges of untreated waste into river and creeks including the Chattahoochee It’s Democrats fault

Earlier today, I led an extensive inspection tour of critical drainage infrastructure and flood mitigation projects across Lekki, Agungi, Ikota and Ajiran, and what we uncovered demands immediate and decisive action. The persistent flooding in Agungi despite the completion of major drainage infrastructure over two years ago has a clear cause. At Ajiran, we discovered that a land owning family deliberately blocked the outfall channel that was specifically designed to discharge stormwater by gravity into the Lagos Lagoon. I have directed that the outlet be reopened immediately in the overriding public interest. Let me state clearly: no individual or family has the right to obstruct natural watercourses or public drainage infrastructure regardless of their land titles. We are not taking anyone's land. We are simply restoring the channel to allow water to flow freely and protect thousands of residents from avoidable flooding. At Megamond Estate in Ikota, we found that developers had illegally reclaimed part of the Ikota River and commenced construction without obtaining the necessary environmental and drainage approvals. Enforcement and abatement notices had been served previously but were ignored. From tomorrow morning, all illegal structures erected on reclaimed drainage alignments without approval in that estate will be removed. This action sends a clear message that Lagos will not tolerate encroachment on drainage channels or public infrastructure. I also reiterate that any development involving wetlands or water related projects must obtain an Environmental Impact Assessment and Wetland Clearance from the Ministry before any reclamation or construction begins. We do not care whose ox is gored. It is unfair to law abiding residents and unacceptable because it compromises public safety. I urge every Lagosian to remain vigilant. The illegal activities we uncovered today came to our attention through whistleblowers. We investigated, verified, and acted. See something, say something - constructively. We are fully committed to a #CleanerLagos and a #GreaterLagos.

“This is the stretch between Tema Community 6 and Community 10, and it has been in this condition for the past two years, yet the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) and Tema Development Corporation (TDC) have done nothing to address it. The water pipeline and the sewage line have both burst, causing clean water and sewage to mix, posing a serious health risk to residents.” — A concerned Ghanaian man raises alarm over the worsening situation, urging the relevant authorities to intervene immediately before it leads to a major public health and environmental crisis.

I’m proud to announce the reopening of Oke Arin & Gorodom markets on Lagos Island following traders' signing of a comprehensive undertaking on cleanliness and sanitation. This step reaffirms our commitment to a cleaner, healthier Lagos. At the same time, we've issued a 48-hour quit notice to traders under the Idumota/Ebute Ero Police Post overhead. Illegal stalls blocking drainage channels not only breach our environmental laws but also endanger public health. We cannot allow our drainage systems to be converted into marketplaces. Such misuse disrupts stormwater flow, increasing the risk of disease outbreaks like cholera, diarrhea, and typhoid fever. Every trader must prioritize proper sanitation practices. I also urge traders to stop dumping waste and using banned items like styrofoam in our markets. #CleanerLagos The Lagos State Govt Babajide Sanwo-Olu Lagos Min of the Environment and Water Resources

🇯🇵‼️🚨 Poop rivers in Tokyo Tokyo has a combined sewer system, meaning sewage and rainwater use the same piping. It is designed to discharge into rivers if it overflows due to heavy rains. When extreme rains happen, the “bayside view” apartments turn into “poop side view.” This happened this week again, strong rains flushed the sewage into the water. Wonder why the design choice? Japan surely could have found a better solution.

The rains have started, and Nairobi is now experiencing heavy rainfall. Unfortunately, some parts of the city are already facing flooding, largely caused by blocked drainage systems. Many residents dispose of waste into these drains, leading to blockages, while in other cases, illegal construction has taken place on top of drainage lines. My message to the people of Nairobi is simple: let us all be responsible citizens. Proper waste disposal and respecting public infrastructure are key to preventing floods and protecting lives and property. The Nairobi County Government is working round the clock to unclog these drainage systems. We are also collaborating with KURA and KeNHA to ensure that major roads and highways remain passable by clearing blocked drains. As we continue with these interventions, I urge all Nairobi residents to: Avoid dumping waste into drainage systems. Report illegal constructions and blockages to the County. Exercise caution during heavy rains, especially near flooded areas.

This morning, we began clearance operations at Kusenla Road, Elegushi, targeting shops that were illegally constructed on top of drainage channels and within the setback. Such actions are not only unlawful but also dangerous. They block free flow of stormwater, contribute to flooding, and put lives and property at risk. We cannot continue to look away. Our responsibility is to enforce the law and protect the environment. Those who choose to build without approval or violate drainage alignments will face the full weight of enforcement. Lagos must be safe, orderly, and sustainable for all. #CleanerLagos #GreaterLagos

They turned a blind eye and let water companies illegally pump a tidal wave of raw sewage into our rivers lakes and seas"

The rains have started, and we urge all motorists driving within Nairobi County to exercise extra caution. We are putting all hawkers on notice, especially those operating within the CBD and irresponsibly dumping waste particularly tea and coffee hawkers. Their careless disposal of garbage is blocking our stormwater drainage systems, which is a major cause of flooding in the city whenever it rains. Developers and all residents are reminded to strictly follow the law and avoid encroaching on drainage channels. All illegal structures constructed on top of or along drainage systems will be removed. We are committed to restoring order in Nairobi. We are also warning those who have encroached along riverbanks and riparian zones move away immediately before you are swept away by the floods. We shall move in and demolish all illegal structures along riparian areas. These zones are not meant for settlement or construction and must be protected. These decisions may not be popular, but they are necessary. Fixing our drainage system is not just about today it’s about building a better, safer city for tomorrow. One day, you will celebrate the work we are doing to make Nairobi cleaner, safer, and more resilient.
